Incompatible birth dates

Sources disagree: in 1335 (Nicolas Flamel) or in 1330 (LIBRIS; Encyclopædia Britannica Online; Integrated Authority File; Early Modern Letters Online).

The main date retains its own sources. These alternatives overlap neither all other statements nor the main date. Rank is Wikidata editorial priority, not proof.
